Boy, 13, conquers Everest

After i have read the article, I just had to applaud this teenager to be able to climb Mount Everest. Climbing mountains is a never easy task for an adult, much lest a teenager, who is just thirteen years old. I believe that climbing mountains require years of training and self-discipline. Nevertheless, it also requires experience and the knowledge to climb the mountains. I believe that the boy probably had to do hours of training each day just to maintain, if not, build up his muscles.
In addition, the boy, Jordan's training includes 'carrying a heavy backpack and sleeping in a specially created tent that simulates the effects of altitude', which i believe is the most rigorous training that i have heard. Other sports training could be very vigorous, but from my point of view, I feel that it would not be as tough as what this teenager has gone through.
